EXPLANATORY NOTES

The ECP Convertible Notes will provide an immediate injection of capital which will be utilised by the Investment Manager in accordance with the existing Investment Mandate. Based on the since inception portfolio performance of 19.1% per annum there should be respectable uplift in Net Tangible Assets (NTA) over the note period after payment of note interest. The uplift in NTA generally culminates in an uplift in ECP’s share price over time which will ultimately benefit Shareholders.
The issuance of the Convertible Notes is subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval to issue the Convertible Notes.
The purpose of Resolution 1 is for shareholders to approve, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes, the issue of 8,458,039 Convertible Notes.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prevents the Company from issuing more than 15% of its issued capital within a twelve month period without shareholder approval. The allotment and issue of 8,458,039 Convertible Notes (if made without shareholder approval) may exceed the 15% threshold, the issuance does not fit within any of the exceptions provided under ASX Listing Rule 7.2. Resolution 1 therefore proposes the approval of the allotment and issue of 8,458,039 Convertible Notes for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Shareholders do not approve the issuance of the 8,458,039 Convertible Notes under Resolution 1, the Company does not currently intend to issue any Convertible Notes. If the resolution is passed, the Company will proceed with the issuance, accepting the obligations of the Convertible Notes and adding the raised funds to the investment portfolio. In addition, the issuance will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Further details regarding the proposed issue of the Convertible Notes are set out below.

ASX Listing Rules - Approval to issue convertible notes to Directors and Alternate Directors
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) holder in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) holder in the Company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
- (d) an associate of a person referred to in paragraphs (a) to (c) above (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in paragraphs (a) to (d) above is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5),
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
By virtue of their position as Directors of the Company, the Directors are related parties for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1. The proposed issuances do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. The issuance of convertible notes to the Directors therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Once approval is obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11, the Company is entitled to rely on Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14 as an exception to any requirement that may otherwise apply requiring Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Approval of the issue of the Convertible Notes to the Directors will enable them to participate in the Convertible Note Offer on the same terms as other unrelated party investors. The issue of Convertible Notes to the Directors is not in lieu of or form any part of the Directors’ remuneration. If Shareholders do not approve the issuance of the Convertible Notes to any one or more of the Directors, that Director(s) will not be able to participate in the Convertible Note Offer.
The Directors consider that the issue and allotment of Convertible Notes to each Director will be on arms’ length terms as the allotment and issue of Convertible Note to them will be made on the same terms to all other parties who participate in the Convertible Note Offer, regardless of whether they are associated with the Company or not. Accordingly, the proposed issue and allotment of Convertible Notes falls within the ‘arms length terms’ exemption provided by section 210 of the Corporations Act to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
